Start diagnosis






- Disconnect the Transmission Input Speed (RPM) Sensor G182 electrical harness connector - 2 -.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.
- Repair any damage found to the electrical harness connector.

If the electrical harness connector is not OK:
- Repair the malfunction.

If the electrical harness connector is OK:

- Using a multimeter, check the Transmission Input Speed (RPM) Sensor G182 electrical harness connector terminals to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) J217 electrical harness connector T68a terminals for an open circuit.






Specified value: 1.5 Ohms Max.

If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the resistance was not OK:
- Replace the Transmission Input Speed (RPM) Sensor G182.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the resistance was OK:
- Erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data
- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
- End diagnosis.
